life at the movies

Il Divo

Caterina Stagno in Il Divo a most surreal experience documenting Giulio Andreotti’s political career starting with the formation of his seventh government. This is the third film in recent times I have seen from Italy dealing with the topic of mafia involvement at the highest level of politics. Crime Novel (Romanzo Criminale) being one of them and the more recent Gomorra the other. Andreotti now 90 years old and a senator for life is portrayed in this rendition in a way that reminds of a character in a Peter Greenaway film. Was Andreotti initiated in the Mafia? Was Andreotti complicit in the failure to rescue Aldo Moro? Philip French’s take on it. aidanmann.wordpress.com/2009/0...l-divo/
